Does each buckle come with a belt?
NO.
We have tried giving out free belts with every purchase of a buckle but they were of poor quality, something we want to avoid. Therefore, we decided to sell high quality belts that will last for years and lowered the price of our buckles.
How do I know which size belt to order?
Sizing is important when ordering a belt. Especially when ordering online where you can't try it on. Below is an example of how the belts are measured and displayed on our site. Please keep in mind when ordering belts it is standard to order a belt 2" larger then your waist size. Or 2" bigger then the measurement around wherever you plan to wear your belt. Also please keep in mind the buckle you are using does play a role in overall length of the belt. If you have a buckle that is 2" long you will need to calculate that into the measurement. A lot of people like to measure the belt from end to end to get a measurement of an old belt. This method does not work well or accurately as belts vary when it comes to the length of belt that is on the end from the last hole to the tip. If you are still not sure contact our customer service at the phone or email displayed above.
I live outside of the US are the any other charges?
Be prepared for any brokerage fees, duties, or taxes that your local carrier may charge you before the item is delivered, to avoid any delays. We will not declare packages at a lower value. No exceptions.
How much is shipping charges?
Shipping charges depends on the weight of the products you purchase and is calculated in real time with the USPS/FEDEX/UPS terminal.
How long before I get my order?
Most of our items are in stock at all times. Therefore, we currently ship 95% of our orders within 2 business days. If an item happens to be on backorder, we will notify you immediately.
Priority Mail usually takes 2-3 business days within the US. First Class mail takes 2-5 business days.
Allow 1-2 weeks for international orders due to customs regulations.
Can I track my order?
Because our customers have requested the best priced shipping in the industry and we listened, we ship all items using the United States Postal Service and using Priority mail which is one of the safest. Unfortunately, there is no way to track these packages, though you will recieve a delivery confirmation number.
How do I know when my buckle is shipped?
When you order with us, we will email an order confirmation to you, informing you of the date it was shipped.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept payments from all major credit cards including Visa, Mastercard and Amex. You can pay us through paypal to our account there

I was told my transaction was declined. Why I see several transactions on my credit card?
When you entered the billing information and your credit card number, we passed that information to your bank. If there is such a credit card, your bank froze some money to make sure it will be available in case the transaction will be completed. For some reason your transaction was declined and we informed your bank about that through our payment gateway. But the bank will not release the money immediately for their own reasons. Usually they hold the money for up to 10 days, but sometimes it can be held for up to 30 days. If you still do not believe us, just call your bank and ask them if the money LEFT your account.
There are 3 possible reasons:
- You exceeded your credit limit. Advice: try another card
- Billing address doesn't match cardholder's bank records. Advice: check out your last statement and try again
- You entered the wrong CVV2 code. Advice: locate the code on your card and try again
So, if I try 5 times and 5 times I was told my transaction is declined, there is a whole bunch of frozen money on my credit card?
Yes. It is a way banks work nowadays. Just wait several days and your money will be released.
Special note for international customers
We now offer “First class international” shipping option. This option is the most economical but time frame varies.
Please be aware that USPS First Class Mail International shipments normally take 2 to 6 weeks to be delivered. However, there is no guaranteed delivery date for USPS First Class Mail International shipments. Therefore, it could take even longer. We have had some USPS First Class Mail International shipments take up to 2 months to be delivered. If you need your order by a certain date or if you want your order to be delivered faster, please take this notice into consideration and select a different international shipping method. Also, there are no reliable tracking numbers for this type of shipment, only a customs declaration number, which may not be updated, since USPS is not required to update the customs number with new tracking status information for this type of shipment. Therefore, your package could be delivered without the customs declaration number ever being updated.
Do you have a catalog?
Because our items are constantly changing to keep only the best items at the best prices, we do not offer a paper catalog.
What happens if the carrier I used claims the package was delivered but I never received it?
Our carriers, USPS and UPS are generally very reliable. However, the above scenario, although not common, could happen. If this happens, we suggest you double-check to make sure the package was not left anywhere around the house, porch, stairs, with neighbors etc. If none found, you are welcome to contact the carrier yourself, using the tracking / confirmation number we provided you. If you can’t resolve the issue with them, you are welcome to contact us and we will contact the carrier. UPS, on some occasions, will take responsibility for their packages (if left at a non-secure location) and will refund the cost of the order. USPS will not do that (unless you contact us at the time of the order and ask for the packaged to be insured). Buckle Project. will NOT be responsible for such loss. The best you can do to avoid this scenario is to use UPS (which allows tracking at any point in time) to a business location or other location where it can be left with someone. |
